Welcome to the forum mate. Have a look at this:

There are also a number of posts regarding ECU re–flashing and the merits thereof. My bike, a '10 model, runs to my satisfaction. The only mods I have are a Staintune slip on and I have done a PAIR valve mod.

Cheers

Thanks for the quick feedback Pterodactyl.... I like that these tricks are available, but I think I'm more interested in reports about how the bike performs straight out of the crate. One shouldn't have to modify the fuel maps just to get smooth performance.

As you read the posts above you will see that most owners, including myself, are very happy with bog standard. Due to emission requirements the standard map is probably , no certainly, a little leaner air/fuel ratio than ideal at lower RPMs. I guess the same would apply to all modern motorcycles produced under current design rules for the USA and most other countries. If you don't like it change the map. However, that would certainly be illegal in most jurisdictions as it amounts to tampering with the emission control system. May have warranty implications as well. I don't think the CB has any real "engine hesitation" at all. It is, as they say in this country at least, a "real pearler".*

Cheers mate.

* Impressive, great performer.
